I'm surprised they're already remastering the 2011 albums, although both have a quite muddy sound - the Wild Man remix from that Tibet album is much sharper, though it loses the muffled, snowy atmosphere of the album (a sidenote, James Guthrie's studio is on Lake Tahoe so I assume he's the friend who told her the story of its ghosts). Will the 2011 mix of The Red Shoes be revisited too? Guthrie oversaw that one anyway.

The big news is the inclusion of Humming, which I think we've only ever heard a snippet of, on a radio show back in about 1980. Again, I wonder why this track in particular? There must be other stuff in the vaults.

I wonder if Humming was scheduled to be released at some point, but got cancelled for whatever. Maybe it stuck out as one of her top regrets, like Tori with Honey.

I like how the b-sides are not arranged in chronological order, and look more like lost 10-track albums. But there's plenty of space on both discs for the two missing b-sides, so maybe Kate just doesn't like them? Masters were lost/damaged? Idk, I'm just happy that 99.9% of her work is getting remastered. I can't wait to hear THE DREAMING most of all.
